About Us

Hello and welcome to City Girl Dahlias. My name is Tracy Shenise, and I am a small grower located in Fort Mill, South Carolina. I don't have fields full of flowers like big growers, but I consider myself a small boutique-type setup. In my garden, you will find over 350 varieties of dahlias; all cared for daily by just little ole me.

My passion for dahlias began when I lost my "soul dog," JD (the furry face of City Girl Dahlias), on June 8, 2023, after 16.5 beautiful years together. I needed something to keep me busy and pull me back to life. The first 17 dahlias were planted in my side yard to memorialize him. I hoped that the blooms would bring back my happiness. Nothing will ever fill his spot in my heart, but the flowers bring a bit of joy back that I lost. That's why I do this. I hope my dahlias can bring joy to your life the same way they do in mine.
